Somalia has much more and bigger problems than FGM!!! I will leave it at that!

Faisal, that is a typical Somali attitude! if our people are not doing anything, I would rather this guy get rich and advance my cause!!

This is a great event!I hope somalilandpress will cover this event extensively!

looooooool, waa suaal fiican young lander?????
Wali waxaad moodaa isticmaarkii baynaan ka xoroobin!!!

Here we go again.......... Really who cares about the affairs of the rich Saudis who have nothing better to do!!!

I commend what Hadraawi is doing and his reason for refusing is logical. Why can't we let Hadraawi be a person who has his own personal believes and convictions???

This is definitely heartbreaking! And the responsibility of providing the basics for under privileged people wherever they are falls on each and everyone of us. Rather than pointing a finger at the people who are in somaliland who they themselves might be struggling, I suggest we start donationg and making a difference. If 20 people donated 20 dollars each, that little contribution might provide a shelter for these kids for two months....... or it can provide them with decent food for some time...

No doubt Mr. Silaanyo is a great man, a somaliland hero but I always marvel at how we mix politics and personal character. Before someone jumps at me I am not favoring any political party and I am pro- change but we just need to ask these politicians what they plan to do! I always hear the opposition criticising the government and it is obvious the current S/land government is not doing a great job but what do the other two parties plan to do????????? how are they different???????

Is this his son by any chance?? does anyone know?

I ask everyone who thinks somaliland does not exist, why they spend their energy on being bitter about something that does not exist then???. I support Somaliland's decision in refusing to participate in the so called "somali discussions" organized by the US. If you refuse to accept us then why invite us! if you advocate for democracy and the will of the people and you are forcing it on the middle east and Iraq, why not notice the people who established it already. It is a double standard, the US is looking for solution for somalia because all of sudden somalia becomes an area of interest for many reasons!!!
